Strange performance issue introduced with 7.10 causing a temporary display lag

[MaxStr]

I recently upgraded from 7.9 to 7.10, and I'm noticing that when I connect to a persistent VDI, there is a significant display lag for a few minutes. For example, when opening applications or dragging a window looks like a slideshow. When I move the mouse around my desktop, there is a delay before the icons get highlighted. It's not a massive delay, I'd say it's closer to half a second or a couple hundred milliseconds, but it's absolutely noticeable. Even Youtube video looks like a slideshow (but the audio sounds normal). Then after maybe 5 minutes or so, it completely clears up, and there is no longer any perceptible delay for the duration of the session.

I'm using Blast and I have the 7.10 agent, 5.2 client, and this VDI also has a GRID card.

I noticed the same issue.

You have to remove the Nvidia Card from the parent vm.

I choose the following way solve the issue.

1. Uninstall Nvidia Driver

2. Uninstall VMware Horizon Agents

3. Remove PCI Shared Device (Nvidia Grid Card)

4. Install VMware Agents

5. Add Shared Device Nvidia Grid Card.

6. Install Nvidia Driver

I'm going to try that, thanks. That's quite a lot of steps for each VM... did you test reinstalling the nvidia driver without removing the card?

No luck, the issue persists after removing the GRID card and reinstalling all the drivers. I might need to update the nvidia GRID drivers for ESX and guest VMs, because I see that nvidia released an updated driver this month
